Duty and Labor Policy of the South.
A writer ia DeBow's Review for Febru?
ary, thus expresses bia views upon this
question. He says:
"A people who would be free, or who
would have their rights respected, iu any
composite form of government, mast
have the elements of strength or of rep?
resentation. This cannot be predicated
of an incongruous populatiou. To be
free and powerful, a people most be so
far homogeneous, as that all may have
the same right to acquire property and
to hold official stations. Society most
be so far homogeneous as to present no
obstacles to the most intimate social in?
tercourse, and especially the intermar?
riage of its people. For, at last, there
is so much of communism in all civilized
society, that envy is, or should be in?
cluded in the common supply, the com?
mon welfare, and the common honor of
a common country. When society has a
population unequally interested in its
own preservation, it cannot bo strong.
When Protestant England has to watch
Catholic Ireland; when republican
France held millions of royalists; when
the United States baa doubts of the at?
tachment of the Southern people to the
Oovernment; neither of these Govern?
ments can be so strong as if the popula?
tion of each was equal iu right and au?
thority. The Governments referred to
may readily renounce nil the causes
whioh dissatisfy thoir own people, and
may readily incorporate] the interests of
all in the common welfare. With a por
tion of the population, however, belong?
ing to a race, alien and incongruons, as
negroes or Asiatics, a people never can
become homogeneous. 'The solidarity
of the people,' as Kossuth terms il, 'is
wanting.' How, then, can a population,
half or one-ionrth of which is enslaved,
rely upon its whole strength, either in
peace or in war? The conduct of the
Southern slaves was admirable, during
the war. Left to till tho land and pro?
tect the families of tho uluulera, they
performed their trust well. When libe?
rated by the passage of hostile armies,
they were added to the hostile force.
They filled the pests and the graves of
our enemies. They made the best fa?
tigue force. They were pioneers and
spies. Clad, fed, armed and transported,
they ultimately stood guard over their
masters. Note the difference between a
homogeneous population whose men,
when captured, must be fed and guarded,
and an incongruous population who
added to the strength of the enemy.
When the war is over, this same incon?
gruous population are used as aliens in
interest. Their whole political force is
wielded in the interest of the conquer?
ors. They not only aid to disarm, but
to disfranchise their former masters.
These are the social and political reasons
why the slavery-or indeed the immigra?
tion-of races with which we cannot
amalgamate, is unsafe and injurious. It
is the duty of the Southern people to utilize
negro labor, and the negro vote. It must
always be an incongruous population,
but it may be robbed of its most serious
objections, by prudence and justice. It
is invaluable in producing values, and
those values may be employed in raising,
relieving and restoring Southern pros?
perity. There is no reason why, in some
future day, the negro may not vote the
same ballot, and serve iu tho same army
with tho Southern whites. But this will
bo because his presence here is inevita?
ble, and his labor cannot bo dispensed
with. We cannot, however, consent that
those nations who manufacture and con?
sume our staple, shall make this thc
gathering ground for all Pagan peoples.
Wo cannot consent that this fatal scheme
to reduce tho market price of our staple,
und fill our land with a treacherous or
neutral, and non-combatant population,
shall be carried out. We raise our voice
in warning against the designs of those,
who, like 'Metellus Cimber, loves me
not.' Do not let the South become again
lite 'negro quarter' of the world-nor
coolie quarter either.
"Base Southern society on its own in?
tegrity, and its own standard of manhood
and womanhood-and statehood-build
in with the while immigrant, material sim?
ilar to thal which formed our society. In?
struct our youth in all the enterprises of
mixed industry, and it will be always
safe, free, respectable and respected."
A Colored .Van'* View of ??the Sew Party"
Movement?
The Missionary Record, edited by
"daddy" Cain, thus fires up and "ex?
plains his thoughts." AH for ourselves,
wo are not in und of tho ruovo referred
to, and cannot, therefore, say how fur
the Record is correct in its allegations:
"THE NEW MOVE ON THE Pox.rric.vij
CHESS BOAIID.-There is a deep under?
current of feeling among a certain class
of politicians, against Gov. R, K. Scott
and those who have, und will stand by
him. It has transpired that there was u
deep scheme on foot to form a conserva?
tive party iu this State, and to defeat
certain prominent colored men, and
Governor Scott, in tho next campaign.
Wo know every mau in tho Republi?
can party who were in this new or?
ganisation. Wo know, moreover, their
stato, as made up to tho time of the ad
joumment of tho L?gislature. We also
know that in this combiuutiou aro law?
yers, judges, magistrates, Stato oilici;.ls,
merchants, and others who have been
elected by tho peoplo us Republicans,
and who have worked their way up into
positions, and uow propose to sell out
tho colored people of this State, so far as
they can, in order to keep tho positions
which they now occupy. Congressmen
and Senators are ut tho bottom of this
movement, and they aro determined Lo
carry their point, if they can, at all haz?
ards. They have already stated that
they intend to carry tho next election
with money, if they possibly can. Th?y
have sold oadetsbips, they have specu?
lated in bonds; they have done every
mean thing to get money for this par
"No ar ire bave a word of warning to
them. Gentlemen, whenever yon pro?
pose to defeat the leading colored menin
this State by money, yon 'reckon with?
out your host.1 When yon think to
cheat our people by vilifying their lead?
ers by false representations; when yon
think that yon will hoodwink the igno?
rant of our race by crying out against
members of the Legislature, and charg?
ing against thom that they voted agninst
the civil rights bill, when yon know that
they voted for it; when you charge
that they sold out their constituents,
when you know that they did everything
to prevent you from selling them ont;
you only lay the foundation for one of
the most sanguinary conflicts in wbioh
you were ever engaged. We sholl fight
you night and day by fair and by foul
moans. We will make you a hissing and
scorn to every honest man in this coun?
try. If you think that Gov. Scott will
be defeated by your trickery, thou you
will see tho whirlwind sweep you away
like the chaff of the threshing floor.
"Before wo would see such men as you
elevated to honor and trust, we would
vote for an honest, straight-forward gen?
tlemanly Democrat in preference. Lot
thoso demagogues beware how they
hatch treason against the common peo?
ple. Lot their cats-paws of colored men
look to their bends, lest they lind tho
avenger near."
For ?he Pheonix.
MB. EDITOB: In your issue of the 8th
instant, while noticing editorially an
article on immigration, you invite a freo
expression of views on that subject from
others. This bas long been to me a
matter of anxious solicitude, and I would
be loth to say anything in the least de?
gree discouraging to any practical scheme
for its promotion. But, sir, it is my
conviction that the proposition contaiued
in the article referred to, is altogether im?
practicable, and fails to meet tho neces?
sities of the case. Count the cost of
carrying out that plau, on a scale suffi?
ciently broad to secure great and imme?
diate results, and you will seo how im?
practicable it is. But my objection is,
if carried out, it would not accomplish
the object in view. Our country does
not now need tho in trod net ion, to a large
extent, of such laborers as contemplated
in the "plan." You could not keep
them here, if brought, because youi
planters and farmers cannot afford 1c
pay the wages required to do so. Im?
port 10,000 European laborero to-mor?
row, and beforo a twelfth mouth had
passed 9,000 will have floated off to othei
States where higher wages aro paid than
we can possibly afford. Wo certainly
had an abundance of labor in 18GC.
Where has it gone? Much of it to thc
West and South-west. Why could wc
not retain it? Because the Western
planter offered higher wages than wc
could give. Aud will not the same
causes operate to draw from us our im?
ported foreign laborers? Assuredly. Tc
keep your immigrant laborerers af ter you
import them, you will have to pay them
from $10 to $15 per month and rations,
aud this you cannot do. I will agree tc
furnish any planter with as much laboi
as he wants, if he will pay the price such
labor will command elsewhere. Again,
tho plantation system, tho perpetuation
of which seems to be contemplated in
the proposition for introducing largely,
foreign labor, however profitable aud
practicable with negroes, will, I dare
affirm, in nine cases out of every ten,
prove a failure with European laborers.
I am familiar with several instance where
the trial was fairly ma'de and resulted in
each disastrously. I do not believe the
plantation system can be carried on suc?
cessfully with wliite labor, either native
or foreign. No, sir. If you need
nought bat hordes of laborers to till
your broad fields, thon I would say John
Chinaman is the boy for your purpose.
And who believes that his advent would
not work woo to tho commonwealth?
What South Carolina needs, and must
have, for tho speedy securement of her
I political regeneration, her social pros
; pority and happiness, and for the sure
promotion of a steady material develop?
ment and advaucement, is a heavy immi?
gration of white men of some means, with
I their families, from the No. .h, or Eu?
rope, or anywhere, who will settle dowu
as farmers, either in tenancy or in free?
hold. All the rest, mechanics, nrtisaus,
laborers, Seo., will quickly follow. To
this, I think, most will agree. That
proposition need not bo argued. It has
been clearly demonstrated in yonr edito?
rial columns for months past. Now, the
vital question is, how can wo obtain
auch immigrants? They will not come
herc to buy our lands; because they can
procuro better elsewhere, much more
cheaply. How, then, eau wo iuducc
them to come? lean see but one possible
solution. By the donation of homesteads.
If the land-holders of South Carolinn are
ready and willing to donate a portion of
their broad but idlo acres to actual set?
tlers, and will <lo so, then may wo hope
i to soo tho tide of u heat li lui immigration
I flowing iu upon our shores, and our
I State advancing along tho highway to
: worldly prosperity and greatness. If
; they will not do this, thou must wo lin
; ger in tho protracted "winter of our dis?
content," until tho slow lapse of long
j and weary years shall work out a "con
I summation so devoutly to ba wished."
j Land-holders of South Carolina, will yo
! do this?
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, permit me
to suggest a plan which I proposed two
years ago, throagh the PBXEHIX, by
whi?h ?his great .object may bo
achieved. Let the laud-holders of each
County in the State assemble at an early
day, and organize associations for the
promotion of immigration. Lot eaoh
one bind himself to donate one or more
homesteads, (say, of fifty acres each.)
Then let a central association be formed,
composed of delegates from the County
associations, whose business would be to
perfect nil the details for carrying the
sohemo into execution-ample moans to
be famished by contributors from the
County associations. Let this son?me
be carried out energetically, aud however
gloomy our prospects now are, I will ray,
confidently, NIL DISPERANDUM.
